A is the bed, which may befrnade of' `either vWood i ormetal, and of any` desired 'length and breadth.

' .To the `opposite side` edges of this bed" are secured i .slotted cast-metallic standards B B, which are iliade "adjustable byimeans of the slots O, and working on `the pivots D. Thesestandards havel aftixed to them strips of hard wood, between which are parallel slots,

i in whichthe saw works insawing miters and in cutting o. i Theslots areat` right angles with the sides of i Icla-irn as new and desire to i iM-0r- Athe bed, so that when afpieee of woodisplac-ed parailei with the bed the saine will cut it off square.` The stands may be adjusted to cut the ends inclined or on a bevel, when the nature of the work requires it.

E is an adjustable guide for the-work or` piece to be cut, which'guide is set at exactly right angles with the saw1iue. A

Upon the top of thelbed-plankl are placed two adjustable ruiter-guides, F and- G. For doing pictureframework, or for cutting miters for any purpose,-

these guides will be found very convenient. L

It will be seen that,l by incliuing (inveither direc'- tion) the stands B B, a compound miter o1? bevel may be cut of any desired form. H is the working side ot' the box. f For cabinctmaking, and,`1n fact, for almost every description of shop wood work, this miter and cuto box will be found ot the greatest advantage.A y.
